Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act of 2026

This bill requires all motor carriers (including subcontractors and owner-operators) transporting Department of Defense freight to certify they are not owned/controlled by, or have significant business ties to, entities on the U.S. list of Chinese military companies (per Section 1260H of the 2021 Defense Authorization Act). It also creates a mandatory "Secure Defense Freight Carrier Registry" managed by the FMCSA and DoD, which carriers must join to bid on DoD contracts. To qualify, carriers must pass vetting for ties to Chinese military entities or other foreign adversaries, meet driver security standards, and undergo biennial reviews. The registry becomes mandatory one year after enactment, with false certifications risking contract suspension or fines.
